<div style="position:absolute;top:2650;left:58">One busy Thursday morning, as Ella hurried through </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2671;left:58">the garden to gather more vegetables, she said, "You </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2692;left:58">know, this just makes all the difference. Giving the </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2713;left:58">vegetables, fruits and canned jams away makes this </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2734;left:58">garden a worthwhile project." </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2761;left:58">Dr. Ella Mahler has been enjoying summers at Duck </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2782;left:58">Cove for more than 40 years, and she says that she has </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2803;left:58">planted many gardens over the years, sometimes mostly </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2824;left:58">flowers, often a variety of vegetables.  It is fun to gar-</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2844;left:58">den for awhile, but sometimes, mid-season, Ella would </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2865;left:58">just lose interest in the garden. </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2900;left:58">It's always been, "just a garden" - and she did not really care if it produced much food, because she had plenty </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2921;left:58">of food.  Unused vegetables become a burden, even an embarrassment, to those of us who have so much.  As </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2942;left:58">with so many things in this world, we have a "distribution problem". </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2970;left:58">Last summer, Dr. Mahler met Cass Wright, and learned about the St. John's Victory Garden.  Ella liked Cass, </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:2990;left:58">and she liked the idea of OUTREACH to people in need.  Providing healthy food for others - What a GREAT </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3011;left:58">idea!  And Cass had an answer to the "distribution problem".  Volunteers were finding individuals in need, </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3032;left:58">families, even soup kitchens - and delivering produce to them.  Ella decided to get seriously involved in the </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3053;left:58">actual production of food - healthy food to eat and to share with local people who do not have gardens. </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3081;left:58">This was a new step, Ella reports, because she had never considered "food production" as a focus of gardening </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3101;left:58">efforts.  She decided to move beyond "gardening"- and start "farming".  Ella had her Duck Cove caretaker </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3122;left:58">raise up the timbers in her raised garden plots.  She had a big load of fertile, organic soil brought in for the   </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3143;left:58">improved beds.  A plan was discussed with her summer companions: a productive garden was planned and </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3164;left:58">planted.  As with other projects, Dr. Mahler has undertaken in her life.....success. </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3192;left:58">The garden is beautiful - it looks the way a garden should look.  But more importantly, it is productive.  Ella </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3212;left:58">enjoys daily access to fresh vegetables for her own healthy diet.  But the greater joy, she contributes approxi-</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3233;left:58">mately 90% of  the fresh produce from her garden to augment the summertime food distribution project from</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3254;left:58">the St. John's Victory Garden.  (She needs only "a tithe" for her own use.) </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3282;left:58">The great majority of the produce from Ella's farming efforts - and the effort is substantial - is contributed to </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3303;left:58">others.  But Dr. Mahler says that the blessing to others is really a blessing to her.  She loves the garden, and </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3323;left:58">she is much more interested in keeping it watered and weeded all summer, because it is a productive garden.  </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:3344;left:58">It's a farm again... and it produces food to help people. </div>

<div style="position:absolute;top:9903;left:232">a broken pedal tracker, and eliminated the ‘clacking’ sound produced by several of the </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:9924;left:232">keys by re-gluing loose ivories.  He and his crew also touched up the tuning, and he </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:9945;left:232">wrote that things should be in good shape until Christmas.  He also repeated his rec-</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:9965;left:58">ommendation that the two wind regulators (bellows) in the organ be re-leathered.  The re-leathering was done </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:9986;left:58">at some point in the past 40 years and was done with a material termed ‘rubber cloth’.  This was a technique </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:10007;left:58">that was popular at the time, but it has since been found that this material does not last as long as genuine </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:10027;left:58">leather, which will last for 100 years. Re-leathering will require that the organ be unavailable for one Sunday.  </div>

<div style="position:absolute;top:10100;left:58">(1637 – 1737).  Hence, some information on his music seems to be in order.  The following includes the opin-</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:10121;left:58">ions of musicologist Paul Henry Lang (<i>Music in Western Civilization</i>, Paul Henry Lang, W.W. Norton &amp; Co., </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:10141;left:58">1969.)  It is generally agreed that Buxtehude was born in 1637.  (There is some dispute regarding the year of </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:10162;left:58">his birth.)   He was organist at St. Mary’s in Lübeck, Germany, and had an ‘unruly, romantically colored </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:10183;left:58">imagination’ that ‘displays a curious mixture of Italian tenderness with the anguish of the German soul, always </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:10204;left:58">searching for the ultimate mysteries of life.’   </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:10235;left:58">Buxtehude composed a cycle of cantatas for the <i>Abendmusiken </i>that followed the afternoon service at St. </div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:10256;left:58">Mary’s on the final five Sundays preceding Christmas.  ‘The much-admired height of these musicals was Bux-</div>
<div style="position:absolute;top:10276;left:58">tehude’s playing and improvisation, and it is well known that Bach journeyed on foot from Arnstadt to Lübeck </div>
